spikedluvmarycatelli posting in book_loveoursinThis time it was online, in Teams, and worked a bit better than some Team events I've attended, or maybe I'm just getting used to it.
A few hiccups with slides and screen sharing, but not as many as there might have been.
Possibly we would rather attend a conference not in our south-facing sitting-room on a day like today....
But even so it was on the whole a good conference, even if some of the interdisciplinarity didn't entirely resonate with me.
And That There Dr oursin was rather embarrassingly activating the raised hand icon after not quite every panel, but all but one. And, oddly enough, given that that was not particularly the focus of the conference, all of my questions/comments/remarks were in the general area of medical/psychiatric history, which I wouldn't particularly have anticipated.

teaotter posting in fan_flashworksfan_flashworks is constantly bumping up against it. So we have an ongoing tag management project to try to gain ourselves some elbow room. You might have seen our periodic posts about merging old single-use fandom tags. Unfortunately, we are coming to the end of the easily-merged fandom tags, and so need to find another way to reduce our tag use.How do you use the challenge tags here?
I don't use them.
15 (65.2%)
I use them to find new-to-me fanworks for a specific prompt.
2 (8.7%)
I use them to filter out fanworks that don’t interest me.
0 (0.0%)
I use them to find specific fanworks on the community that are already familiar to me.
1 (4.3%)
I use them (in addition to my maker tag) to find my own fanworks.
5 (21.7%)
I use them some other way. (Please elaborate in the comments.)
3 (13.0%)
So that's what those tags are! I never knew!

This required me acquiring aubergines from The Local Shops. There is now, on the corner where there used to be an estate agent (and various other things before that) a flower shop that also sells fruit and vegetables, and they had Really Beautiful, 'I'm ready for my close-up Mr deMille', Aubergines, it was almost a pity to chop them up and saute them.
A little while ago I mentioned being solicited to Give A Paper to a society to which I have spoken (and published in the journal of) heretofore. Blow me down, they have come back suggesting the topic I suggested - thrown together in a great hurry before dashing off to conference last week - is Of Such Significance pretty please could I give the keynote???
Have been asked to be on the advisory board for a funded research project.
A dance in the old dame yet, I guess.
